Storyline

The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a 2019 computer-animated action comedy film based on Rovio Entertainment's Angry Birds video game series, co-produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, and Rovio Animation, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The sequel to The Angry Birds Movie (2016), the film was directed by Thurop Van Orman and co-directed by John Rice (in their directorial debuts) from a screenplay by Peter Ackerman, Eyal Podell and Jonathon E. Stewart. Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Tony Hale, Anthony Padilla, Bill Hader, and Peter Dinklage reprise their roles from the first film, with newcomers Leslie Jones, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, Eugenio Derbez, Tiffany Haddish, JoJo Siwa, and Brooklynn Prince joining the ensemble cast. In the film, birds Red (Sudeikis), Chuck (Gad), Bomb (McBride), and Sliver (Bloom), are forced to team up with pigs Leonard (Hader), Courtney (Awkwafina), and Garry (Brown) to foil plans by Zeta (Jones) and the rest of the eagles on Eagle Island when an advanced giant ice ball weapon threatens both of their Islands. Production on a sequel to The Angry Birds Movie began in August 2016. New ideas for the film were conceived with the premise being that the birds and pigs work together to save themselves, which very rarely happens in most Angry Birds games. In June 2017, it was stated that the sequel would be more of an adventure film than the first film. New characters for the film were announced in March 2019 along with new cast members. The animators were tasking with attempting create more realistic feather systems for the Birds' plumage and designing visual effects for snow, ice, water and lava for the film. Heitor Pereira returned to compose the film's score with artists such as Kesha and Luke Combs contributing tracks for the film. It also features eighteen classical pop songs from the 1960s to 2000s decades from famous artists and different genres from the soundtrack, like the first film. The Angry Birds Movie 2 was theatrically released on August 2, 2019, in the United Kingdom and Ireland, in the Finland on August 7, and in the United States on August 14 in RealD 3D formats. The film was not as successful as its predecessor, only grossing $152.8 million on a $65 million budget, but received generally positive reviews from critics for its voice performances and humor, with many considering it an improvement over its predecessor.

Three years after the events of the first film, Red protects Bird Island from the pigs, led by King Leonard Mudbeard, who are in a prank war against the birds. One day, a giant ice ball from nearby Eagle Island hits the sea near Piggy Island, forcing the pigs to seek a permanent truce with the birds. Zeta, the leader of Eagle Island, is angry with her frozen surroundings and wants to occupy the two islands by shooting ice balls from a super-weapon to force their inhabitants to evacuate. Red's two best friends, Chuck and Bomb, surprise Red and ask him to join them in a speed dating activity, where Red meets Chuck's sister Silver, an engineering student, who deems Red incompatible. Meanwhile, Zoe - the daughter of Red, Chuck, and Bomb's anger management teacher Matilda and their classmate Terence - loses the eggs containing her unborn sisters, so she and her friends, Vincent and Samantha, try to recover the eggs through the course of the film.

Leonard visits Red and convinces him to form an alliance.
